The Mad World of Drudge Desktop Traffic

New report mines data from Intermarkets and SimilarWeb.

Drudge Report referral stats never cease to amaze.

According to some new numbers compiled by Intermarkets and SimilarWeb, the site was responsible between September 2015 and August 2016 for around 53 million desktop-user Associated Press page views. Or, per this report, 37% of that overall type of traffic for ap.org during the period.

That’s the highest such percentage in the list of Top 15 most referred-to websites. The Hill is next with 22%, followed by CBS Local with 19%.

What about mobile traffic? It’s not included here, but that is less of a liability than usual.
